Well there's lotsa grey wires and schematics aren't listed by where they're routed so you'll have to trace where the other end goes in order to follow it on a schematic.

Thanks again! Another brain fart. I traced it back to B11. It looks like a signal for the speedo.


If it's any consolation, I had to repin a 92 z28 motors wiring harness to match my brothers 88 IROC body....that took a month! Anywho...the posted pictures are the c207 connectors. They control a TON of stuff! If you can figure out what year you nead, you can search the www.thirdgen.org forums for a "c207 diagram", or google search the same. You can also try this one:

Thanks 77c15

I found the c207 connector on the diagram Vile posted. What makes it difficult to spot is it shows just 2 of the connections (D and P )from the total 15 in the connector.
Thanks again guys. My wiring is complete!

BTW, is the speedo on the Firebird electronic as in no speedo cable?

Made up a bracket Friday morning at work for the fuel filter. I will bolt this to the frame. It secures with 2 stainless steel hose clamps for easy removal.

Beautiful! Very nice fuel filter mount.

B9 and B10 are going to connect to your VSS.

B11 Won't be used on your truck since your speedo is cable driven.

Where did you get that part? My brothers IROC is cable speedo, but the 92z tranny is speed sensor. That would be a HUGE help to get his speedo working again. Please let me know the part number and where to get it. Thanks!

Made up a few pieces at work Monday morning for the air filter box. I'm planning on running 4" duct from the rad support ,into the filter box and into the throttle body. I hope I can do this without relocating the alternator or without removing the stock fan and shroud.

A little off the TPI but I thought I'd throw it in. I picked up a metal shrinker and stretcher on the weekend and had an order come in yesterday that actually needed these tools. Just thought I'd let you see what they are capable of. This is 20 ga s/s:





I see some great potential there for fabbing up parts for bodywork in the future.

That is cool.  My buddy has started playing with stainless lately.  I am trying to get him to make some parts for our trucks.  He is working on some right now, and I am trying to get more from him.

Here's a nice piece that brigtens up the top of the rad support.

Before:



After:




Here's an overflow tank:



I have to cut it down as its in the way of the intake air,
It uses the stock plastic filler cap.

Some beautiful work! I bet you could fabricate a gas tank that would put Rock Valley to shame, and they build one heck of a gas tank!
